Every family has at least one picky eater, you know the one person that won’t touch fruits and veggies if their life depended on it. I love any chance I can get to sneak some extra fruit and veggies into our family meals, especially since I have one of those “picky eaters”. These Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins are a family favorite in our house, they are filling and so good. The best part? They aren’t too sweet, just perfect for breakfast – snacks – or as a treat and full of fresh fruit.
I know you are going to love these Banana Blueberry Oat muffins. You could also think about switching up the fruit, maybe strawberries instead of the blueberries?

How many calories would you say were in each muffin?
Hi Alissa. That’s a great question, but unfortunately I have no idea how to figure out the calorie content. Have a great week. 🙂
I made these using whey from making my ricotta, and a third of the flour was spelt flour, just so moist and yummy, the kids love them, everyone loves them!
I would have been curious about the calorie content also.
Hi Richelle. Thank you so much. That sounds like great substitutions for the recipe, I need to try that! As far as caloric content I honestly have no idea what it would be, but maybe in the future I will look into finding it out. Thanks. 🙂
I just made these on my blog!! Gave you recipe credit 🙂
Thanks girl. xoxoxo
Just made these and they are delicious! I substituted milk for orange juice and they are very tasty. Thanks.
Thanks Krista. That sounds like something I will have to try! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I assume that you use quick oats in this recipe? I used old-fashioned oats and they ended up crunchy. Weird. Was a perfect recipe to use up the overripe bananas on my counter.
Hi Beth. Thanks for asking. For this I used regular oats, you can definitely try it with the quick oats and it should work great! 🙂
First time ever making muffins. They turned out great !!!!! I added a teaspoon of mixed berry jam to each one to make fruit explosion muffins. Do not eat them myself but i hope my wife likes them
Oh that sounds good, I will have to try that! xoxoxo
